HVAC Scheduling Service
Are you spending too much time scheduling and dispatching your team? Maybe you invested in scheduling software that isn’t working for you? Nothing beats the help of a real person scheduling and dispatching for you.
The dedicated, highly trained professionals at Front Office Solutions can take your scheduling and dispatching duties off your hands, so you can spend more time working, more efficiently too. Discover how our HVAC scheduling service can help your business run smoother and make more money.

What is HVAC scheduling?
An HVAC scheduling service helps keep your local technicians on time and relieves you of the stress of trying to schedule appointments for them. This ensures that your business is always running efficiently, wasting as little time and resources as possible.
Accurate and timely service call scheduling is a critical component of an HVAC company’s success. You have to be able to connect with your customers 24/7 and juggle multiple work orders from different clients.
Once you’ve been assigned the work order, it’s essential that your technicians know where they’re going and what they need to do once they’ve arrived at the job site.
Our HVAC scheduling services at Front Office Solution provide an easy, hands-off solution for all of that and more.
How Can a Scheduling Service Help Your HVAC Business?
As an HVAC technician, you’re doing multiple calls per day. You typically don’t have time to return a call until you’re driving to your next job. Scheduling and dispatching yourself and your team can become a full-time job, but our services can free you from those demands so you can visit more jobs and make more money. Here are some of the ways that our HVAC scheduling service can help you:
- Lower cost: Hiring a receptionist for scheduling and dispatching is a high cost, especially if they don’t really have enough work to fill all their time. There isn’t just their salary, but also benefits, vacation and sick days. There may even be tax and regulation costs of hiring a receptionist, but you don’t need to deal with any of that with our service.
- Consistency: When you choose Front Office Solutions, you don’t need to worry about planning to cover your receptionist’s time off or holidays. You’ll always have a trained professional to do your scheduling.
- Shorter commitment: Not sure how much time a dedicated scheduling service will really save you? Find out without committing to an employee when you use our services.
- Schedule smarter: Is this call close to your supplier or another call you’ll be doing that day? Your scheduler can make smarter scheduling decisions that will save you time.
- Get more time: The best part about not doing your own scheduling and dispatching is that you can save time and dedicate it towards the parts of running your business that only you can do.
- Answer calls anytime: With our service, you won’t need to worry about missing calls while you’re busy. We’ll answer all of your calls so that you can win those clients.
“They are very upfront with their services and offering, plus their reporting is VERY detailed for an answering service. You have complete transparency into their operation and the call receipts they send are very detailed allowing you to pick up a conversation seamlessly. Highly recommend them for service businesses looking at an answering service.”

5 HVAC Dispatching Tips to Improve Your Business
Keeping your technicians on schedule saves you headaches now so that you don’t have to scramble to find an open slot later. To help HVAC business owners avoid situations like this, here are a few tips we’ve gathered through the years about scheduling HVAC service calls:
1. Choose the Jobs You Assign Technicians to Wisely
Make sure that the HVAC technicians you choose for each job are qualified to complete the work assigned to them in a timely manner, and do this before you send them out into the field.
You can base this decision on their experience level, skill sets, certifications, and other credentials they have to offer.
When you assign your team of technicians to the jobs they’re most qualified for, you’ll be sure to notice fewer errors and a significant uptick in efficiency and customer satisfaction.
2. Use Scheduling Services and Software for Emergency Calls
Emergency calls can disrupt even the most efficient HVAC business, potentially causing a variety of unprecedented hiccups to occur. Even on a relatively slow day, an emergency call can take time away from other mission-critical tasks that your office staff is responsible for.
In order to accommodate for an emergency call, your office manager will have to manually reschedule existing appointments, update techs in the field, all while also staying on top of answering the phones, scheduling new service calls, tracking HVAC technicians in the field, and a handful of other tasks on the side.
Needless to say, this can all quickly become overwhelming, even for the best office managers. All of this can be avoided with an HVAC scheduling service, or even an advanced HVAC software if you’re willing to learn how to use it.
3. Automate Scheduling for Maintenance Agreements
Maintenance is a recurring task, which means that it can be automated without having to worry about making any major changes from appointment to appointment.
As the owner of an HVAC business, you should take advantage of the various scheduling services and software that cater specifically to the HVAC industry. This will allow you to create predefined schedules with the option to add any repeat jobs automatically.
With that, you’ll have a much easier time planning for upcoming service appointments, boost customer satisfaction, and secure more repeat business in the process.
Remember, manually tracking schedule information also introduces errors, which lengthens the HVAC installation process. If you’re having trouble tracking schedules effectively, it’s time to schedule an appointment with Front Office Solutions to get started with our free 7 day trial!
4. Track Your Inventory
It’s easy to overlook the role inventory tracking plays in HVAC dispatching, but if your technician shows up without the right equipment they need to do their job, you’re going to have a bad time.
Inventory tracking isn’t just for installable HVAC equipment, either It can also help you keep track of your tools and service equipment, like cranes, duct cleaning equipment, and other tools that are typically shared by multiple technicians.
5. Use Real-Time Tracking
GPS chipping your trucks is a great way to recover from theft, but it’s also a great way to improve your HVAC dispatching process. Chipping your trucks allows you to monitor when employees are on track, ahead of schedule, or behind schedule, allowing you to reschedule as necessary to cover service gaps. It can also help you find greater efficiencies without having to play phone tag between your employees. There is no shortage to all of the ways that real-time tracking can improve your dispatching process.
